Congrats Alty! We all knew you could do it!

Woot Woot!!

[Alty]

::blush::

Gosh everyone, thanks.

I really am so happy. I still can't believe it.

It's so hard to get in with Capital Health, I can't believe they picked me.

Now I just have to get my car fixed and I'm all good. ;)

Sounds to me like you will now have the money to go get the other car... correct?

I could, but we're going to stick with my van for a while.

The van only has 53,000 km on it. Yes, it's a 2001, but the only problem was the problem
We're having fixed.

I would like something smaller, to save on gas, but I think I'll wait. This job will be in my neighborhood, a 10 minute drive if the lights are against me. ;)

We really need to pay off a few other things and I'd like to put some money away so
That we can take the kids camping next year.

Ok, drop the 'high maintenance' thingy, now you are being sensible... what fun is that? :D:D

I think it's about time I'm sensible, don't you? ;)

[Stringer]

What's that word? All the women I love are specialists in spending... (kidding, although somewhat true... ) :)

Yep, you've given me another reason to say I'm proud of you. (For whatever that is worth to you? :) Hoping that it is... )

Thanks Stringer.

I never claimed to be like most women. ;)

I'm the penny pincher in our family, always have been, at least when it comes to things for me. I have trouble spending even $10 on a new shirt, I'd rather buy something for the kids.

Hubby actually gives me a hard time about it, but, when we're out at the store, even if I really need something, I'll usually end up putting it back so he and the kids can get something instead.

I was raised to save money. I was also raised to support myself and no matter how much I do at home, take care of the kids, etc. etc. I still have a hard time accepting that I don't bring in any money.

Does any of that make sense to anyone other then me?

Yes, but guess what? Now you are a wage earner. It will get old fast if eventually you don't treat yourself too.

[friend4u178]

Woo hoo well done Alty :)

Now you can start saving for that trip Downunder ;)

[Alty]

I haven't treated myself in over 10 years, it's become a habit.

Something tells me, knowing me, that I'll be spending my wages on the household and the kids, if hubby doesn't get his hands on it and buy that big screen TV he wants. :rolleyes:

I may buy a new winter jacket and boots because I need them. :)

[Alty]

Woo hoo well done Alty :)

That would be great! :)

I'd really love that. A trip to Australia is definitely in my "before I die" plans. :)

[Stringer]

New Zealand also... M.

And from O'hare I'm guessing 15 to 18 hours to the downunder? But we have talked about it M.

[Alty]

I plan on flying to the pub that M goes to. I may even sleep there, unless someone carries me home. ;)

First jug's on me M. :)
